Being a White Supremacist Grounds for Firing

You acted unprofessionally and pretended to be your employees friend and confidant. Then used the information you gleaned, NOT their behavior at work ... to get them fired. That is YOU ABUSING your POWER, like the little Nazi fuck you are.

Their opinions about racism, just like the "obamacare " guy, were not solicited in any way by me.
One employee saw me as his "confidant" mainly because we were the same ethnicity.
Like you, to his detriment, he assumed much.

Being a White Supremacist Grounds for Firing​

After white nationalists descended upon Charlottesville, Virginia, a Twitter account with the handle @YesYoureRacist began soliciting the identities of rally goers based on photographs. “If you recognize any of the Nazis marching in #Charlottesville, send me their names/profiles and I'll make them famous,” the account tweeted. And by famous, the user of course meant infamous.

The strategy of exposing the faces of rally attendees to hundreds of thousands of people on Twitter worked, and many were identified. By Sunday, one of those whose name and place of residence had been revealed had reportedly been fired from his job at Top Dog, hot dog restaurant in Berkeley, California, according to Berkleyside. (A call to Top Dog went unanswered.)

The strategy that ultimately got Cole White, the man who lost his job after being identified via social media, fired directed a mix of public shaming and economic pressure not at him, per se, but toward his employer. It took only a few hours for internet users to come up with an identification, where he was from, and where he worked and then to start calling on Top Dog to let him go. That’s certainly not a brand new tactic, but it’s a variety of vigilantism to which social media is particularly well suited, finding and disseminating information and amplifying calls to action far beyond what would be possible within a single geographic community. After the news broke that White had been fired, many who had participated tweeted delighted responses. ”Awesome! We must shame them into oblivion,” wrote one user.

It's not merely that Cole White lost his job. The website GoDaddy has bounced the neo-Nazi website Daily Stormer off its servers, and the University of Nevada, Reno, has released a statement condemning racism and white supremacy after it became clear that one of its students had participated in the rally. All of these cases indicate that there is real pushback against the trend that my colleague Matt Thompson described over the weekend: that white supremacists feel increasingly comfortable expressing their views in public fora. This is certainly true, but apparently they can't do so with impunity: The hoods may be off, but the torchbearers may not have jobs to come back to on Monday. The efforts to push employers to fire the offending employees are an example of how the public—but, importantly, not the government—can strengthen the norms against these ideas, attach a stigma to them, and try to move society away from them.

Of course, the consequence of this dynamic is that taboo political ideas of all stripes can lead to workplace sanctions. While many on the political left are now lauding firings as a way to hold white supremacists accountable, it’s also worth remembering that pressuring employers to sever ties based on political activities, or social and racial beliefs, has historically been targeted in the other direction. McCarthyism involved reporting Communists and Communist sympathizers and pushing them out of the workforce, and Hollywood in particular. And as Walter Greason, a historian and professor at Monmouth University said in an interview, “Historically it's more dangerous as an employee to be associated with racial justice and the NAACP, than it was to be affiliated with the KKK.”

More recently, the dynamics have shifted somewhat with the advent of the internet. Perhaps most memorably, there’s the incident of a public-relations professional who made a racist joke about AIDS while boarding a flight to South Africa. While in the air, the tweet went viral, leading outraged internet users to not just ridicule her, but to direct attention at her employer as well. Countless onlookers waited for her to land and learn of her dismissal. While the offense at the root of these firings is different, the viral and Google-able nature of the internet means that the consequences of such terminations are long-lasting: Not only does a person lose his or her job, but the entire incident will forever be tied to their name for all to see.

Before I retired I personally fired people and wrote in their report that they were fired for being racists.
I have no problem with this.
No employer should.

I served my employer well by getting racist hate mongers out of their employ. The "Obamacare" guy needs to learn to comport himself better in a job interview.
He, assumed that, because I was management, I would agree with his politics and he would win unearned points with me...
He was wrong.
 
Bigdog said:
Yep,when you rejected a job candidate based on his views of Oboobocare.

An expressed racist? No ... I would fire YOU.

He bangs on endlessly about racism yet the psycho calls Asian women bargirls and whores, if that isn't total hypocrisy then I'm not sure what is??

AH! THERE it is! So it comes down to hate? I heard that the clarion call went out across the entire countryto find enough ku klux kretins for this protest. The antifa asswipes most likely had to make 2 or 3 phone calls to the local college and some surrounding Virginia cities to get enough alt-left neanderthals to start trouble(without a permit, I might add). These white nationalists were like obamacare, dying a slow death. Now I understand their numbers are on the rise. Take a bow, bucky. It's people like you who have made this possible. Two groups of troglodytes literally armed with clubs and raw hate, facing off with murder in their eyes. Hatred is a two way street unless one side of the street decides not to participate. The klan is not going to be the side that chooses not to participate. The alt-left is going to have to stand down or this shit becomes more eternal than it already is, and the next wave is going to make the klan look like pink fluffy unicorns.

I loathe the neo-nazis,but they have a right to free speech ( which is not the same as hate speech -hate speech is targeted at a group to generate violence)..So now we are at the Stalinesque purging phase..

That was mentioned on NPR's Morning Edition today. Even liberals are coming to the defense of those being fired for their beliefs. Of course that's what true liberalism is about. Liberal extremism today is becoming not much different from any other hate group.

This is where you expose your idiot hypocrisy. the only impact that rally had was to embarrass the idiots attending it. it didn't impact ME at all and it didn't impact YOU.

Maybe not directly but it certainly didn't make the country look good, especially after the president tacitly defended the racists. Germans must be rolling their eyes in disbelief.

I once did not hire a guy because he insisted on bringing up how he hated the idea of Obamacare, during his job interview.
All I had to say was I found a better candidate for the job. Which I did.
The people I fired were written up and it was explicitly noted in my report that, the reason for their termination was that they expressed racist ideas and attitudes to me about guests and other employees.
There is a difference, Pimp.

Pmp playing dumb again, what a surprise.
